Murder or Accident,

CINCINNATI, Ag. THE police are work
I1g on an alleged murder case which came
ITO their attention early yesterday morning.
The victim is Robert Gastinger, a we'll
known young man who has been employed
at Heinsiu's saloon on Elm near Fifth. The
story is that on Tuesday week he came to
his home No. | Bremen street at 10 O'Clock,
and after putting on his slippers went with
some friends to Deukerts saloon. He re-
turned at IL o'clock staggering and bleeding
from wound on the head. He had also q
discoloration on his breast. To his wife he
stated that hs had besn attacked at Graef'5
shoe finding establishment few doors be-
low his house by two men, who knocked him
down and kicked him brutually Then one
of them remarked it was the wrong man.
The following day he could no5 leave his
bed, but revived on Thursday sufficiently tc
go to Blue Creek, near Brookvil4e Ind,
where his relatives resided He grew worse,
and on Saturday died in great pain. Yes
terday the body was brought here and in
TERED in the Vine Street Hill cemetery
Another theory is advanced through the
story Of Charles H. Simpson, of No. 81 Bre-
men street, who helped Gastinger home. He
claimed that the latter fell over Graef's
steps and that he was intoxicated Mrs.
Metzger, his landlady, who let him in, also
thought he was drunk. The chances are
that it will never be known how he came to
his death. Coroner Rendigs has ordered Dr.
Walker TO make an autopsy.

COLUMBIA, s. g., Aug IA peculiar
murder was com nitted in Lancaster county
yesterday by an eight-year-old colored boy.
He and his siste and another girl about
three years Of age were eating watermelon.
They had dispute, and the boy being an
CRY, while the girls had their backs turned,
he reached down an old double-barreled
gun, cooked it and approached them in an
angry manner, saying he was going to kill
them both. He aimed the gun at the girls,
but he was hardly able to hold it up, and
before he could shoot, his sister caught
him by the arm and begged him not to kill
her,
The boy finally agreed to put the gun up,
but while doing so, either by accident or
purposely, discharged the weapon, which
was heavily loaded with buck shot The
charge passed through his sisters arm apd

Canada penios the story.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. H. Inquiry at the
department of fisheries by representative
Of the United Press with regard to the story
of the sinking Of an American fishing vessel
by Canadian cruiser reveals the fact that
there is not the slightest foundation for it.
The officials at the department declare that
the story is pure invention, and evidently
had its origin in the brain of some highly
| imaginative reporter They point to the
fact that neither the name of the fishing ves-
,seI nor cruiser is given, and assert that it is
not at all probable that vessel could be
sunk in sight of land without some vestige
Of the wreck being found. The officials also
point significantly to the fact that even the
names Of the fishermen, who, it is allowed,
witnessed the firing on the schooner are not
given. One of the gentlemen connected
with the department summed it up by de-
claring that it was the "fishiest" story since
the fishery troubles between the states and
Canada hAQun

AFTER THE AMERICAN CUP.
The Scotch Yacht Thistle Arrives at Now



New York, Aug 17.-The Scotch yacht
ThistleEarrived this morning and dropped
anchor Off Tompkinsville at 6 a. m. She
was met about forty-flve miles outside by
PILOT boat No. and Pilot Charles Anderson
had the honor of bringing her up the chan
mel. Capt. Barr reports pleasant passage
with the exception of three rough days and
three on which there was hardly puff OF
wind. A light breeze prevailed during the
rest of the passage. Several vessels were
signalled, but they evidently did not make
out her number. The report of the steamer
Lord Give, OF Philadelphia, which sighted
her Sunday morning was correct and Capt.
Barr says that this was the only vessel that
answered her signals
The Thistle, as she lies at anchor presents
beautiful sight and her model does not
belle her claims to speed. Below deck she is
comfortably and plainly furnished with no
attempt at decoration. 1t will take about
two weeks to clean her up and get her in
trim. The voyage took just twenty-one
days. Her crew is composed Of twenty-one
officers and men, and are fine-looking set.
Capt Barr is thick-set Scotchman, heavily
bearded and bronzed by exposure. All the
Thistle's people are proud of their boat.

The Loss at the Chatsworth Disaster.
Echoes From the Wreck.

CHATswoRTH, ILL.,, Aug. 17-Ihe damages
on account of the accident on the Toledo, Pc
oria &c Western railroad will be little short
of $l,0uD,0OO, Probably eighty or ninety
people will die or have died, and as 5000 is
the limit fixed by law in this state that can
be collected Of railroad as damages for
death, this item will figure up S40O, 900. The
seriously wounded may collect $10,0On or
$t5,D00 each. Add to this the loss Of busi-
ness and the damage to property, and the
disaster will cost the company round sum.
Henry L. Beach, editor of the Pan Handle
Advocate, of Piper City, blames the section
men and the engineer for the disaster. That
fire and smoke were seen in the neighbor-
hood of the bridge last Wednesday after
noon he says is confirmed by farmers who
live in the neighborhood, and were the Sec
tion foreman more attentive and strict in
the performance of his duties, the disaster
would never have happened

UPRISING OF THE UTES.
A BATTLE BETWEEN SHERIFF KEN
DALI AND THE INDIANS.

One Hundred and Fifty Indians Fighting
at Beaver Creek, CoiOradO--The COuu-
try All On Fire Along the White and
Bear Rivers-Famiiies Fleeing.
MEEKER, Col, Aug. 1T-Word has Just
reached here of battle between the Utes
and Sheriff KendalTs party which was
fought on Bsaver creek, on Tuesday last
The battle occurred on bluff just behind
Beaver creek. Kendall had been following
the Cra,l of the Utes for twenty-four hours
and few miles from where he met them he
encountered the squaws and herds going
west toward Douglass creek. He did not
disturb them, but two or three of the squaws
showed fight and he was compelled to take
their knives from them He then pushed
across the country and came upon Colorow
and eighty four bucks camped in the shelter
of trees about five hundred yards from the
bluffs.
As soon as the Indians caught sight of
the sheriff the party Immediately rushed
for their horses and rode further back, halt
ing every few minutes as if to encourage
pursuit, in which they were successful. Once
out upon the plains they immediately began
to encircle the brave cowboys with the
sheriff, and fired twice upon them The In
dams force outnunbered the sheriff g party
two to one, and he wisely returned to the
bluffs, getting the clump of trees between
him and the hostiles. Once there the whites
dismounted behind the shelter of the trees
and returned the ! Indians fire, wounding
one buck, who fell from his horse, but was
Immediately picked up and carried to a
place Of safety. The bucks then returned
to the fight and attacked Kendalrs force
with ferocity. Colorow did not seem to
participate much in the fighting, but occu-
pied coign of vantage on the bluff.
Some of the cowboys think he fired an oc-
casional shot, but there is some difference Of
opinion as to the statement. The fight con-
tinued all the afternoon and up to dark,
when the Indians went toward the south
bank Of the White river. The sheriff, deem
ing it unwse to follow, camped for the
night. -Four Indians we're wounded in the
fight, and one Of them is said to TO mortally
So The Indians made two or three attempts
to break through the sherifrs lines, but they
were repulsed, and the battle was carried on
at long range. 1t was expected that the In
dians would attack the sheriffs camp at
night, but they did not, and none could be
seen at daybrealS The sheriff's party then
struck the Indian trail and marched all day
1t was lost at North Fork, and not found
again until Thursday morning On Thurs
day Kendall's party had another skirmish
with the hostiles. It occurred on an old bat
tlefeld on the Milk river. The fight lasted
about an hour, when the Indians drew Off
and took to the hills Kendall, at last ac-
counts, was supposed to be in the vicinity Of
Williams Fort, on the White river, about
forty miles north of Meeker. As soon as
possible party win be made up to reinforce

who was to have been hanged to-day Home
Secretary Matthews, following the demand
of the Pail Mall Gazette that Lipski be
respited until the question Of his innocence
could be determined, made haste to
announce that Lipski would surely hang.
The queens interference, under the circum-

in Matthews resignation.
